The use of 3D printing technology ensures cost-effective production, reducing manufacturing costs & making the product more affordable for healthcare provider. It also possess optical fiber diagnostic alongside offering real-time, sensor-integrated wound monitoring

Chronic wounds, particularly diabetic ulcers & pressure sores, are a growing global health concerns due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes & an aging populations. In Malaysia, 18.3% of adults have diabetes, contributing to a high rate of chronic wounds that require  frequent monitoring & care

Medfibr3d, a 3D-printed optical fiver technologies addresses the urgent need for effective chronic wound monitoring, especially in diabetic patients. It is integrated with biosensors to provide real-time data for wound healing, reducing dependence on subjective visual assessments

The innovation lies in integrating 3D-printed optical fibre technology with biosensors to enable real-time monitoring of chronic wound healing. This approach combines advanced sensing capabilities with cost-effective manufacturing, providing objective diagnostic data that improves clinical decision-making and patient care compared to traditional visual-based wound assessment methods.
